CALGARY, Jan. 15, 2014 /CNW/ - Connacher Oil and Gas Limited (CLL - TSX;
"Connacher" or the "Company") provides the following operational update
for the fourth quarter 2013 ("Q4 2013"). All production related results
disclosed herein are based on field estimates.

Production and Operations
Connacher's Great Divide production for Q4 2013 averaged 11,400 bbl/d.
Production was 3% lower than the prior quarter (Q3 2013 11,788 bbl/d).
Production in late November and early December was negatively impacted
by a temporary reduction in natural gas supply in northern Alberta
necessitating a turndown in steam generation, primarily at Algar.
Preventative maintenance was advanced and performed during this period
and also reduced production.

The four new infill wells at Pod One have been on production for 135
days and averaged 1,120 bbl/day in December. Steam injection on the
four new SAGD well pairs at Pad 104 continued through the end of Q4
2013 and into early January. All of the wells are now on production.
These wells have contributed to average Great Divide production to date
in January of 13,200 bbl/day.

Marketing and Hedging
In Q4 2013, the volume of bitumen moved to customers outside of Alberta
averaged approximately 7,426 bbl/d (65% of total bitumen sales)
compared to approximately 10,850 bbl/d (92% of total bitumen sales) in
Q3 2013. The balance of the bitumen sales were to intra-Alberta
markets.

For 2014, the Company has approximately 6,000 bbl/d of production hedged
at minimum WTI prices ranging from US$90 to US$96. Connacher has also
hedged 2,000 bbl/d of WCS basis differentials for Q2 through Q4 2014
ranging between WTI less US$18.25 to US$22.50 and 2,500 bbl/d of MARS
basis differentials for 2014 averaging WTI less US$1.60.
